HOUSTON, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NFR Energy LLC ("NFR" or the "Company")today announced that the lenders under its revolving credit agreement completed their semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, resulting in a decrease to the borrowing base from $625 million to $600 million. David Sambrooks, CEO of NFR commented, "The outcome of our redetermination was a very positive result for the Company. NFR realized a roughly 4% decrease in the borrowing base despite an over 30% decline in the bank groups price deck from the prior redetermination last fall. Our significant hedge position as well as the significant impact from the Cotton Valley acquisitions we closed on during the second half of 2011, were both key elements to this outcome."

As of April 25, 2012, the balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility was $440 million. The next redetermination of the borrowing base is scheduled for October 1, 2012.

Additionally, NFR's current hedge position, as detailed further below, protects for the remainder of 2012 approximately 87.5 Mmbtu/day at $6.15/Mmbtu and protects 88.3 Mmbtu/day of the Company's natural gas production for 2013 at $5.23/Mmbtu.
